VOICED : Historico acuerdo en Chile de plebiscito para dejar atras Constitucion de Pinochet

After nearly a month of protests, Chile will hold a plebiscite to change its Constitution. The Congress agreed to a historic decision to hold a public vote in April 2020 to replace the current Constitution from Pinochet's era. The plebiscite will ask if a new Constitution is desired and what body should draft it. If approved, elections for the drafting body will occur in October 2020, alongside regional and municipal elections. The new text will be ratified by mandatory voting. The current Constitution faced criticism for lack of public participation and social reforms, leading to protests with violence, casualties, and arrests.
